AnalysisContrastRegionVoxel clusterSPM {z}Peak coordinates
Region, spatial extent (voxel cluster), significance extent (SPM{z}), and Talairach coordinates of peak effect are indicated. All results are reported at p < 0.05 (corrected for multiple comparisons).
AE, age of onset of epilapsy; AG, angular gyrus; CG, cingulate gyrus; CS, cingulate sulcus; DE, duration of epilepsy; GMC, grey matter concentration; LSSO, left sided seizure onset; MFG, middle frontal gyrus; PoCG, postcentral gyrus; PrCG, precentral gyrus; RSSO, right sided seizure onset; SFG, superior frontal gyrus.
